Paul, this is Dean from Michigan. I mentioned in a thread that I was getting some discus and two weeks ago I got my first 4 of them ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 inches. I am starting to have some problems with the largest one. Yesterday I saw him darting around the tank for a short period of time. I thought that was unusual. This morning he was laying sideways at the top of the tank. I moved him upright and now seems to be better. The last two days he seems to be hanging out at he top of the tank as well while the other stay at the bottom.

The tank is a BB 30 gal octagon upright tank. 30 - 50% water changes every day. Water parameters are good 8.0PH 0-Ammonia 0-nitrite 5M- nitrate. The fish were bought locally from a breeder whos PH were in the high 7's.

Feeding them Beef Heart and Cobalt flakes several times a day.

Any suggestions. I can be reached at 248 236-9881 if it is better to talk on the phone.
